"To translate individual tabs, use Translation Workbench > Translate. First select a language, and then choose Web Tab for the Setup Component. Lightning component tabs available to translate are displayed in a list."
(from the Winter '18 Release Notes)

I believe this was already on the radar and therefore, this idea has not been not updated yet.

So the only workaround in an international implementation is to create separate pages for each country if there are custom tabs? Hard to sell to customers. It works in other parts of lightning pages using custom labels but not on custom tabs. This should definitely be part of the translation workbench.

If the Tab label is important, it needs to be able to be translated. If it's not important, why is it there in the first place? A test I always like to use since I don't speak Japanese: Am I OK with the experience if all of the UI is in Japanese? If yes, I guess translation doesn't matter. If no, then it better be translated.
